The Spirit is one, It will be a different wing for the speed demon.

The next will be a san marino roc-style mid-range.

The 3rd is up in the air until we test fly the spirit. If it is still overstbale than we may make another top for the Speed demon. If it is a straight flyer than we may make a beadless wizard or another tope for the G1i!

More DuPont plastic?

Did you know that DuPont currenty has over a dozen hazardous waste violations at several of their manufacturing facilities?



I'm sure Innova & Discraft's plastic suppliers are equally as environmentally concerned. That's why you don't like Gateway's discs?

C'mon. What industrial company that has been around since the early 1900's hasn't been responsible at some point in its life of mishandling hazardous waste?

DuPont has improved over the years, but since 80 years ago, they were prob responsible for the direct/indirect deaths of well over 1,000 people.  I'll look for old archived stats, but here's something current.

In short, yes, that's why.

I also love to see the veins in jay's head stick out when he gets mad reading stuff like this.

None. I just like preaching from my hippie environmental soapbox on occasion.  :)
